Beautiful Bangs for Your Face Shape, Part III: Oval

Welcome to the third installment of Beautiful Bangs for Your Face Shape. Celebrities such as Sarah Michelle Gellar, Beyonce, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner, Hillary Swank and Sarah Jessica Parker all have oval/long shaped faces. The best types of bang styles for them—or for you—are longer bangs that fall a little bit below the eyebrows.

Yet perhaps one special celeb whose bangs have evolved dramatically over the years is Halle Berry. Curious about what I mean? Check out some of her past hairstyles here.

If you have an oval face shape, you are lucky, since you can play around with many different bang options. For example, if your hair is thick, try a blunt-cut short bang. If your hair is thin, then a billowy fringe or long wisps will look great too!

The goal is to add some width and fullness at the sides so that your face looks more symmetrical. Avoid creating too much volume at the top, or you will only make your face look too drawn-out and oblong. (My mom calls this the "egghead.")

im having promblems with my hair
i really wanted purple hair but then i was realitic and
said no
i want frint bangs and i don't wanna get them and they don't look right
i welling to take risk but not with my hair and im wanting to try something new with my oval chubby face

did you know that most models have an oval face? im so lucky lol^^
yeah...i was thinking of getting bangs but am not so sure anymore. but if i WERE to get bangs, i def get halle's! however i am cutting my hair to shoulder length, so this is going to be interesting...

Ive recently got a bang just below the eyebrows and i have this face shape! And everyone seems to love it! And now ive come across this and it makes me so happy lol! See your tips are true. I can testify!! lol

I got the worst haircut back in March. The lady didn't know what do do with my bangs..and turned me into an "egg-head." lol I've been wearing my bangs back since then... *sigh* If I could, I'd get bangs like Halle though. They're very cuute!

I'm thinking about bangs again. The thing is I have an oval face, but I also have high cheekbones so in a way it makes my face look a bit diamond shape. Any suggestions what sort of bangs would suit me? Is there something I should avoid etc? =)
